Lyrics
Pelican
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lie, so I know you'll be a great man, someday
Airy on disguises, and these skins
Set to measure; one day, one day
You've never seen quite like this before
We'll feel better when this all blows over
Bay leaves to hide us
Bay leaves to keep us down
Our legs are like Red Woods
And their stronger than ten of the roots
Roots spin down in envy of the river
When will we find, when will we find
When will we find a better place?
When will we find, when will we find
When will we find a better place?
You've never seen quite like this before
We'll feel better when this all blows over
Bay leaves to hide us
Bay leaves to keep us down
We'll feel better when
We'll feel better when
We'll feel better when this all blows over
We'll feel better when this all blows over
We'll feel better when this all blows over
We'll feel better when this all blows over
We'll feel better when this all blows over
We'll feel better when this all blows over
You've never seen
A man quite like this before
A man quite like this before
When will we find, when will we find
When will we find a better place?
When will we find, when will we find
When will we find a better place?
